A Little SMILE

A Little Smile Makes Everything Better. That's what the sign in the spotlight says. I've been trying out my new dies for easel cards. I just think they're too cute. I've been hoarding this vintage street lamp die-cut from Dawn, but I have to use it now, else what would light up the sign. There are always birds hunting for food around the ground under the street lamps. That's what I think anyway.

The denim color background is great for a guy card and I've had a pack of card stock with an Asian motif to it for years. Since the front of the stack is gone, I have no idea what stack this lovely paper is from. I did have fun putting this together.

Card popped up in the easel position

There really is something about these papers that I just love, so I'm quite satisfied with this card.

About Me

I never crafted until my sons were 8, 10 and 12. I found ceramics and with a neighbor, purchased green ware, painted, baked in my kiln and marketed on a local scale, to Flower Shops all sorts of unique ceramics. Their pianos were especially noted. Lots of dust and downward swing in the economy lowered my interest in this activity.
I tried a craft that took up less space, beading. That is still interesting, but not as much as creating paper projects, especially cards.
My oldest stamp is dated 1995. It was an off and on love, but finally, a couple years ago, I became an avid card maker.
There is a saying among card makers, “There is never enough paper”. I am now saying “NO” to paper because there is enough paper for now… well, down to one page a month for awhile.
